2002 Volkswagen Golf Gls Tdi 5 Speed Manual Sunroof 50+ Mpg No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Niantic, Connecticut, United States
2002 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI This has the high demand 5 speed Manual Transmission Clutch is fine, no issues. 1.9 Liter Turbo charged ALH engine Timing belt and water pump, tensioner was done around 75,000 miles. It had the 100,000 mile belt installed Turbo works excellent. The glow plug system works fine. I installed a larger battery to assure it starts up on the coldest of winter mornings. Power windows all work fine, as well as the power sunroof, gas door and rear hatch release. The brakes feel good. The front brake pads have about 60% left. Rear brake pads have about %40 left. Shocks are great up front. The rear are still good but I would replace them when you do the brake pads, they were replaced maybe 5 years ago. The rest of the suspension is good. Steering feels great and responsive. Tires were just rotated. Two tires are about %80, Two tires I would replace soon. They are worn at one side because the car needed an alignment, which was done last year. It is due for an oil change next month. The fuel filter was replaced in November. The car needs a small hose from the PCV valve on the top of the valve cover gasket to the intake tube (can be clearly seen on the engine picture). The car had another key/cluster programmed something with the security system would not let the car start with the key. The body is very good for its 12 year old age and northern environment. The pictures should depict so. If you have any questions please let me know. This car is very reliable. I would replace the tires before taking it on a cross country journey. Despite the tires, the car drives excellent on the highway. The cruise control works The AM/FM works. I never used the CD or TAPE player. No reason for me to think it would not work. The glove box latch is NOT broken Head lights, turn signals, brake lights are good. This car reliably will get me 50-55 MPG with reasonable highway driving If you do not know much about the TDIs you *WANT* to buy a PRE-2004 TDI (2003 and down). WHY? the 2004+ ALH motors have a newer, more problematic pumpe-duse fuel injection system. The camshaft (upper engine) also fails prematurely on the 2004+. The 99-03 model Jetta, Golf, Passat, Beetle TDI are the ones to look for and buy. The car is located in Niantic, CT (near New london, New haven - southern CT) though I commute to Providince, RI so I can meet you anywhere in that general area if that helps. The TF Greene airport in Providence is pretty close (PVD). The Amtrak train also is very close (New London). TERMS OF SALE: Winning bidder must contact me within 12 hours after close of auction.

VW spending $10 million on EV infrastructure, calls on Congress for help
Tue, Feb 10 2015It must be the season of big EV infrastructure announcements. In the last few days, we've heard from Bollore in France, PG&E in California and now VW. The German automaker says it will spend a total of $10 million on electric vehicle charging infrastructure by 2016. That includes the previously announced ChargePoint investment VW made with BMW and work the automaker is doing to get chargers for cars like the e-Golf installed as its dealerships. But Jorg Sommer, Volkswagen of America'sl VP of product marketing and strategy, said today in Washington, DC that automakers need help from the federal, state and local governments to turn electric mobility into a thing. Speaking at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress, Sommer said VW would like the Feds to support fast charging networks in urban areas as well as interstate corridors and that governments should "commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a US Government priority," he said. He also suggested that the plug-in vehicle multiplier credits under the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations should be extended beyond the 2021 model year. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA TO INVEST $10 MILLION IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE BY 2016 Feb 10, 2015 Washington, D.C., February 10, 2015 – Jorg Sommer, vice president, product marketing and strategy, Volkswagen of America, today presented Volkswagen's holistic approach to e-mobility surrounding the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions 2015 e-Golf, including a $10 million commitment to support electric vehicle infrastructure by 2016. During a presentation delivered at the 2015 Electric Drive Congress in Washington D.C., Sommer stated that Volkswagen believes continued legislative support is needed to reach the next level of electric vehicle adoption. "Automakers have effectively delivered electric vehicles that can satisfy the needs of most American drivers," said Sommer. "In addition to the investment we and other companies and industries are making, we would like to see Federal financing support for establishing fast charging networks in urban areas and interstate corridors. We'd like to see more state and federal organizations commit to cleaner fleets by purchasing EVs and PHEVs. This should be a U.S. Government priority, and federal purchasing guidelines should reflect that by giving fleet purchasers the flexibility they need," Sommer said.
FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs
Tue, Oct 6 2015FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals – giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
